I think this is one of those things that a small minority of
people would use frequently, but everyone else would use
very rarely or never. The decision on whether to include
something in the stdlib needs to be based on the wider
picture.
In this case, it's trivial to write your own if you want
it. As they say, "not every one-line function needs to
be in the stdlib".
